A Sioux City Jury Brings In a
Verdict Of Manslaughter
Against Munehrath.
The Judge to Sentence Him
For About Eight Years on
Monday Next.
A Portion of the Jury at First
For Aequfttal---Scenes
in Court.
Why Editor Lewis Was Taken
to Philadelphia on a
Charge Of Arson.

SIOUX CITY, To-, Sept. 1S.-The jury
in the case of Munchrath, charged with
the murder of Rev. George G. Haddock,
after being out since $50 last night,
came into court to-day and announced
verdict of manslaughter. From the
time the jury retired until about noon
to-day no inkling was obtained of its
deliberations, although various rumors
were flying during the forenoon.
Shortly before noon a bailiff was dis
patched to find Judge Wakefield and in
form him that the jury had agreed on
verdict. 1t was some time before the
judge could be found, and it was nearly
2 o'clock when the jury filed into the
box and handed the judge the follow
ing verdict:
We, the jury, find the defendant, Fred
Munchrath. Jr.. guilty of manslaughter.
n. r. MCDoUGALL, Foreman.
The jury was polled, and when each
member was asked if this was his YER
diet answered Yes" The extreme
penalty for manslaughter in Iowa is
eight years. The defendant was ac-
cempanied by his father. When he
came into the court room to hear the re-
port of the jury he was deathly pale
and moved about in his chair uneasily,
it being apparent that he was making
decided effort to appear brave and un
concerned. The announcement OF the
verdict did not have any visible effect
on him, and when his father left the
court room he
REMAINED IN HIS CHAIR.
The counsel for the defense gave the
customary notice of motion for new
trial, but it is not thought that such a
motion will be granted by the court, as
there is no error in the record of evil
dence, the only hope being on the con-
struction of the law, which holds an
accessory equally guilty with 1.-THE prin-
cipal. Judge Wakefield announced
that sentence would be pronounced on
Monday, Sept. %. In the meantime
1t is learned that the jury on the first
ballot stood five for acquittal and seven
for conviction of murder in the first de-
gree. On the second ballot the vote
stood two for acquittal. The remaining
ballots were taken to determine the de-
gree of guilt, and it was not until morn
ing that the question of manSlaughter
was considered. One juror, James Col
lins, said that he could not see that the
evidence warranted conviction of mur-
der in the first degree, and would not
vote for such sentence if he stayed
there during the remainder of his life.
The verdict is considerable of a surprise
here, where the facts are all known.
The failure of securing conviction in
the Arensdorf case and the apparent
lack of interest in the present trial had
led to the belief that the jury would not
do more than disagree. 1t is now limited
that Munchrath NAV be induced to talk.

Important Action on Certain
Lands in New Mexico.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1S.-Commis-
sioner Sparks, of the general land Office,
has received report from the surveyor
general of New Mexico upon the priG
vate land claim known as the Pablo.

tigation be had in the field for the purs

ing. The recommendation has been
approved by the commissioner. The
grant as patented contains 655, ,46S acres.
The surveyor general, in his letter,
expresses the opinion that under the
Mexican law of 1924 the grant was
limited to eleven square leagues, or
about $4,000 acres, and that a proper
survey, even as the boundaries are now
located, would reduce the area to fully
one-half of the amount claimed. Com
missioner Sparks has also received and
transmitted to the secretary of the in
terror report from the surveyor gen
eral of New Mexico, recommending
that suit be brought to set aside the
patent of the Antonio Ortiz grant, No.
42, in New Mexico, on account of fraud
or mistake in the execution of its sur
vey. The surveyor general estimates
that this survey probably includes Co.
600 acres in excess of the grant. The COM
missioner approves of the recommends
ton of the surveyor general.

CoNNELLsvILLE, Pa, Sept. 1S.-Ad-
vices from all sections of the coke

the informal Inauguration of the strike

at which scale is now in force, will be

the operators have as yet made no move
looking towards settlement, the only
possible outcome of these meetings will

peat the declarations of firmnesS to not
grant an advance and continue to pre-

A STUPID FORGERY.
The Seized SeaIers Have Not Been
Ordered Released.


WASHINGTON, Sept. 1S.-With regard
to the statements published to-day al
leging that Secretary Bayard had tele-
graphed his officers in Alaska to release
the seized sealers, and that the order
had not been executed, because the
Alaska official was not sure of the
authenticity of the order, Secretary
Bayard said tonight the dispatch
showed its incorrectneSS on its face.
Alaska is part of the United States, and
consequently the state department has
no officers whatever there as it has in
foreign countries. All its knowledge of
Alaska affairs comes through other de-
partmentS of the government. The sec
retary of state would give no order to an
Alaskan official nor receive information
from one except through the head of
another department. With reference to
that part of the dispatch and OF other
dispatches which allege that the release
OF the seized SealerS had been ordered,
the secretary made the following ex-
plicit denial of any knowledge of any
such order:
There as-been to my knowledge no order
issued by the president for the release of any
of the vessels seized this year. simply be-
cause we have no knowledge of the circum-
stances unuer winch the vessels were SelZeQ,
and we only know that they are in the hands
of the court and therefore will be dealt with
accordingly to law. There were three cases
last year in which the president saw fit to
order the release of three vessels seized in
August, 1886, but these were the only cases
| know of in which vessels were ordered re
leased. That occurred last year and the
facts were made public at the time.
The Secretary was somewhat annoyed
at the criticisms which had been made
upon his course with regard to the
fisheries question and particularly
with reference to the commission
for a settlement. He said he had
made proposal to Great Britain for a
settlement and that proposal had been
made public some time ago. He did
not think the mere machinery by which
an agreement was reached on the basis
of his proposal of particular import
ance. He could not hasten the publica-
tion of the correspondence which had
sincestaken place. 1t would all be laid
before congress in due time and be
made public and would show that his
efforts had been to obtain an honorable
and fair settlement of the question.

THEY WILL STRIKE
Unless Their Demands Are
Granted BY Wednesday,.

CHICAGO, Sept. 1s.-The conductors
and drivers in the employ Of the West
Division Railway company, at an all
night meeting, decided unanimously
that unless their demands were granted
by Wednesday evening a strike would
begin Thursday morning. The men
have had several conferences with
President Jones with unsatisfactory re-
suits, and last nights meeting was
called to take final action. They de-
mand % cents per hour; that no runs
call for less than ten hours work, and
in case cars are ''run in'' that the men
be paid as specified on time tables. The
number of conductors and drivers in

West Division company has monopoly
of the passenger traffic in the west side
of the city. The employees are largely
the same ones who struck two years ago

War Talk by Boulanger.

PARIS, Sept. 1S.-Gen. Boulanger, in
an address to the officers of his COM
mand after the manoeuvers by his corps
at Clermont-Ferrand yesterday, strongly
urged the necessity of giving wider
exercise of offensive tactics, which were
proper to the French army. He con-
cluded his remarks as follows:
We have to- day more than ever of the quail
tiles of warrior. No, the hour has not yet
struck for the disarmament of the people of
old Europe. 1t is madness to believe it is q
crime to say it. for it points to peace at any
price as the goal to which our country should
aspire, and our enemies-who often appraise
us at our real value better than we do our
selves-know well that we have not got as
far as that. More than ever we must con-
tinue the work. 1t is for France.

PROMPTED BY MALICE.
The Animus of the Arrest of A. I'll.
Lewis.

Special to the Globe.
MILBANK, Dak., Sept. 1S.-The ac-
count of the arrest of A. III. Lewis,
of this city, in Saturdays Tribune, is
distorted and sensational and is in
spired by parties here who are un-
friendly to Mr.. Lewis. The actual
facts, as CLEANED by the GLOBE repre-
sentative are as follows: Some twelve
years ago Mr.. Lewis was implicated in
a charge of arson at Philadelphia. He
was mere youth at the time and was
placed under bonds therefore. Feeling
the disgrace of being mixed up in the
affair, he left his home and came West,
and changed his name from Volkmar to
Lewis, under which ne achieved an
honorable reputation and competence.
He is the editor and proprietor of the
Grant County Review, one of the lead
ing papers of the territory, and is we'll
known as a genuine Dakota rustler,
whether as journalist or
every time. His unfailing success
and his uncompromising position
as the opponent of local jobbery has
made him number of untiring and i'm
placable enemies, who have for some
time been secretly plotting against his
peace. They in some way unearthed
his boyish indiscretion of twelve years
ago and brought him to the attention of
the Philadelphia authorities. An noffcer
came here with warrant, not requi-
sition, as published in the Tribune, and
Mr.. Lewis at once agreed to return with
him and have the matter settled. The
district attorney at Philadelphia, when
first consulted about the matter, de-
clined to act on the ground that there
was no case which would warrant him
in putting his department to any ex-
penSe, but it seems parties at Milbank
insisted On having criminal proceedings
instituted against their fellow
townSman. Some of them are
now heartily ashamed of the result of
this daStardly work and the sympathy
of the entire community has gone out
to Mr.. Lewis and his amiable and sor-
rowing wife. They are both young and
accomplished and very popular men,
bers of society in Milbank.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.

MILBANK, Dak., Sept. 1s.-A. Fl.
Lewis, editor of the Review, was taken
to Philadelphia last Friday on charge
of being implicated in an attempt at
arson in that city back in 1876. Mr.
Lewis waived examination and went
away freely, without putting the officer
to the trouble of getting warrant from
Gov. Church. He says it was simply a
boyish scrape and has no foundation in
fact, and the matter can be speedily
settled up.
